Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum guest requirement for booking Ravens Ait Island?
Ravens Ait Island requires a minimum of 45 guests for all event bookings due to the size of the venue rooms. Events with fewer than 45 guests cannot be accommodated on the island.

Music is allowed until 11:45 PM and all guests must vacate the island by midnight. These are strict house rules that apply to all events regardless of type or size.
